SQLRDS Monitor Features and Benefits

Reduced Support Costs

Support staff don't have to learn or be trained in multiple monitoring tools. The SQLRDS Monitor can monitor your on premise and cloud based SQL Server environments. The health of all SQL Servers can be determined via a single pane view

Low Total Cost of Ownership

No monitoring infrastructure or licensing is required by the customer. The SQLRDS Monitor environment has high availability built-in. Upgrades and monitoring rule definitions are managed by DBInsight

Thresholds and Scheduled Downtime

Monitoring thresholds and scheduled downtime can be configured per server group or individual server. Monitoring scheduled downtime can be configured for oneoff or recurring scenarios via the SQLRDS Web Portal or by replying to email alerts

Alerts With HOW-TO Hints

Alert details include helpful HOW-TO hints on how to investigate and resolve the issue. In addition, DBInsight provides a Common Alerts reference guide that describes the common alerts and how to investigate and resolve the issue

Multi-Instance and Cluster Aware

SQLRDS Monitor efficiently monitors all SQL Server instances on a server. In addition, SQLRDS Monitor is Cluster and Availability Group aware

Highly Secure

SQLRDS Monitor does not require Sysadmin rights to the SQL Server. All monitor data is transferred via the encrypted protocol HTTPS. Server configuration information is encrypted

DBA Support Available

Unlike other monitoring software vendors, we don't just provide the monitoring software, we also provide DBA support if you need assistance in resolving identified issues

How it Works

SQLRDS Monitor is based on the award winning LogicMonitor cloud monitoring solution, however, extensive customisations and enhancements have been implemented to monitor and visualise the SQL Server components. The customisations/enhancements are based on DBInsight's 15 years experience in monitoring and supporting large complex SQL Server environments

A lightweight data collector is deployed to the SQL Server

The data collector uses WMI, SNMP and Powershell to capture the monitored data

Monitoring rules are preconfigured and auto discovered during the monitor initialisation

Monitor data is sent back to a central database using an encrypted communications protocol
